Bobbi, it is good to let us help your Mom. It is hard to watch our parents and grandparents grow old, but we can help that progression get a little easier through energy and anything else we can do to help them stay active.
Try contacting some of the local gyms and the YMCA about classes she can take. I know the YMCA here does a special class designed just for people like your mother. They are not all older, some are young with disabilities, but in the water they can teach them to pick up there feet and how to walk more strongly all the time building up muscle and confidence. It is an awesome class, and she will not feel like she is behind somehow.
Well I hope this helps you figure out a direction to take with your mom. I know my grandmother is 98 years old, and has lately been well getting old (for lack of another word for it). My family is all freaked out at her memory not being as good as it was, and and and... Well Grandma was born in 1910, and let me tell you she can remember a whole nother world!
Grace if you do some corrections on Bobbi's Mom, can you add my Grandma in there to... I grew up in a multi generational family we had at any one time 3-4 generations living in the same house, so she is xtra special to me, kind of like a second mom!

Thanks for your thoughts and words. My goodness but it is sheer delight to behold the woman you have become and are becoming. Wow. Dazzling!
Mom has a lifetime membership at a gym and she particularly likes the 5:30 a.m. class. She is so a morning person. (That gene didn't pass on to me.
) I've offered to drive her since its too dark for her at that hour. She's still considering. I think I'll check in about that again today. Thanks for the reminder.
I love your comments about your Grandma and the dearness of those relationships.
Bobi
